"When I was a Brine-Oge,"* said Shane, "I was as wild as an unbroken cowlt no divilment was too hard for me; and so sign's on it, for there wasn't a piece of mischief done in the parish, but was laid at my door and the dear knows I had enough of my own to answer for, let alone to be set down for that of other people; but, any way, there was many a thing done in my name, when I knew neither act nor part about it.
"Sure as me name's Dinny Shane!" exclaimed the old man. "Who else would have tied up little Brian, the dog that was never tied before in his life!

At first it was thought that he might have fallen in, but two dark marks by the side of his head showed where a brace of slugs had entered it. I felt sure that they had been intended for me. It seemed as if I had wronged him. Poor fellow! we bore him sadly homeward.

The Prophet, who seldom lost an opportunity of vaunting himself before his followers, then rose, and addressing captain Shane, said, "why does not the President send to us the greatest man in his nation?

"Why, Shane," observed Alick, "you must have a terrible memory of your own, or you couldn't tell it all so exact." "There's not a man in the four provinces has sich a memory," replied Shane.
